Message: [QUOTE="Unbreakable, post: 3294680, member: 8290"] I thought maybe I was being a little harsh on Turpin, so I decided to compare his numbers with a few other starting hookers in the NRL to see where he truly stacks up. Jake Turpin - 16 games, 0 tries, 0 linebreaks, 2 try assists, 2 linebreak assists, 2 forced dropouts, 25 running metres per game, 44.3 tackles per game @ 97% efficiency Damien Cook - 14 games, 2 tries, 6 linebreaks, 4 try assists, 2 linebreak assists, 1 forced dropout, 63 running metres per game, 45.1 tackles per game @ 95% efficiency Brandon Smith - 15 games, 9 tries, 9 linebreaks, 8 try assists, 11 linebreak assists, 0 forced dropouts, 92 running metres per game, 27.8 tackles per game @ 92% efficiency Reed Mahoney - 13 games, 2 tries, 4 linebreaks, 12 try assists, 12 linebreak assists, 3 forced dropouts, 40 running metres per game, 43.9 tackles per game @ 96% efficiency Jayden Brailey - 16 games, 3 tries, 6 linebreaks, 4 try assists, 5 linebreak assists, 4 forced dropouts, 42 running metres per game, 48.0 tackles per game @ 96% efficiency Turns out that no, I wasn't being too harsh on Turpin, he really is one of the worst starting hookers in the competition. Some other hookers who clearly have better stats than Turpin this season - Josh Hodgson, Jacob Liddle, Blayke Brailey, Apisai Koroisau, Wayde Egan, Lachlan Croker, Reece Robson. In fact, the closest comparable I could find in terms of offering nothing in attack, you guessed it, Andrew McCullough. The only teams who have a worse hooker option at the moment than us by my count is the Bulldogs, Titans & Roosters (Which is up in the air, given Verills has shown plenty of promise) [/QUOTE]
